I've been cycling since I noticed that osteoarthritis of my feet is strictly related to running. So during the second week of July I gave up running and began cycling in the Hills, through tall oaks and olive trees.
Cycling is great exercise but hard work when it is windy and the path is up-hill. It gives me the same endorphin production as I experienced when I was a runner.
Just a picture of the Southern Italian Coast which I visited in August:
And with regard to August, people who live in the Northern Emisphere can enjoy in Summer time a huge list of non-acidic fruits & vegetables. As it is known, we always have to consume non-acidic food in the aim to maintain our body pH level normal.
Lemons, lime and kiwi are categorized as highly alkaline fruits and are therefore non-acidic. Other non-acidic fruits include bananas, cantaloupe, coconot, grapefruit, grapes, watermelon and berries (exceptions are cranberries and blueberries which are classified as acidic).
Apple and orange are non-acidic fruits which we can find in Winter. In addition, in Winter there are a lot of non-acidic vegetables, such as cabbage, carrots, artichoke, pumpkin, lettuce and garlic.

Beautiful pictures! Grains can be acidic - which is why so many people do better when they reduce amount consumed.
I have learnt that people in Western countries reduce amount of cereal crop consumed, firstly because it can be acidic, as you mentioned, secondly, because of gluten.
